Advice on How to Tell My Doc I want Off Statins


#21

Your numbers aren’t bad at all! If your total was 14 points lower you wouldn’t even be on statins! Here’s the problem, your doc has you on them! Which tells you his/her mindset. Your call obviously but it’s pretty well documented at this point that they don’t actually help you. Put it this way, If I’m a diabetic that would without question fail a GTT, yet I go take one and after I slug down my sugar shake 15 min before they come back to re-take my glucose I inject some insulin I’ll clearly pass the test. Did the insulin “fix” the fact I was a diabetic and couldn’t pass the test? Was anything actually accomplished? Or did I use a pharmaceutical to cheat a test? That’s all you’re doing with the statin, but with the statin it also comes with a laundry list of bad side effects.

I’m expecting it Bob. Keto has regulated everything in my body. I’m going to trust it knows what to do with cholesterol and I’m not going to worry about it.
